Ingredients

Scale

Eggs

  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Sauce

  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon honey or sugar
  • ½ teaspoon chili flakes or 1 teaspoon chili oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

Garnish

  • 1 tablespoon green onions, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Make the sauce: In a small pan, combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, and chili flakes or chili oil. Warm the mixture gently over low heat, stirring occasionally, until it slightly thickens and the flavors meld together.
  2. Fry the eggs: Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Crack the eggs into the hot oil carefully and fry them until the egg whites are crispy on the edges while keeping the yolks runny, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Plate and drizzle: Transfer the fried eggs to a serving plate and spoon the warm sweet and sour sauce evenly over the eggs.
  4. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle the sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds on top. Serve the dish immediately to enjoy the contrast of crispy eggs with the tangy sauce.

Notes

  • You can adjust the chili amount to your preferred spice level by increasing or decreasing the chili flakes or oil.
  • For a vegan version, substitute eggs with tofu slabs and use maple syrup instead of honey.
  • Make sure not to overcook the eggs if you prefer runny yolks; cook longer if you want them fully set.
  • The sauce can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; warm gently before serving.
